ONE MORE CRUISE BOOKED
Having had some good experiences on Princess Cruises we just booked another cruise on the new ROYAL PRINCESS for November 3, 2013 which will be the Royals first seven night cruise in the Caribbean. The inaugural American departure cruise is a five nighter. I really would have loved to be on the inaugural cruise of Royal Princess in Europe this summer but that is not to be.
At this time, planning for the MIXED NUTZ cruise for 2014 is underway.

I am delayed!
My apologies to anyone waiting to see the Allure movie. It's all about equipment and I need the updated computer which Apple just has not released yet.
The good news is that I have the whole movie outline ready so it will be easier to follow the script and quicker to get done.
Then there is a renovation project going on in my home right now also using my time. However, that will be done shortly and I will be able to get the movie done. So, look for it in your Christmas mail.
COMING CHRISTMAS OF 2012
Wait a minute....I better get this movie out BEFORE Christmas because the 2012 Mayan "End of the world" prediction is for December 21st. ( just in case)

Time to start the planning process
As always, planning a cruise starts way early when you are trying to get a group of people together. This is no easy task. Most of our original members have gotten into their own time frames that work for them. I can't say I blame them.....you do what works for you.
Some don't like the Easter/ Passover or Spring breaks for the obvious reason of kids, kids, kids...... and more kids onboard. Some want the off season to take advantage of pricing. And others have their regular lives to deal with first. Some with younger children yet, or college to pay for..... money .... never enough is there?
Our first two Mixed Nutz cruises were probably an unusual happening because it was a re-ununion that everyone was able to attend. Now.... we get a few originals and create more NUTZ with each cruise..... which is of course, a good thing. Someday it would be nice to assemble EVERYONE for one big blast of a time.
So....... here we are at stage 1 of the process. It begins with a where....... and a when.
Suggestions?

Wonderful! In one word thats what this Crown Princess cruise was. Even though we jumped on this cruise last minute we still met a lively bunch of cruisers on Cruise Critic who we interacted with for 12 days.
Princess ran a very organized cruise particularly with the excursions. Well thought out and easy for us to do. They had something for everyone.
The weather could not have been better. Every day, blue skies and NO CLOUDS! The waters were so calm that even Carol did not even feel motion from the ship. Crown Princess glided across the Mediterranean waters so smoothly. Most of the time I could not tell if we were moving.
Once again I thought the food on Princess was very good. I can't say one cruise line is better than another, that is subjective, but I do feel the overall Princess attention to service is better than RCCL recently. The daily menu offers alternative choices from appetizers to main courses. Plus it seems like they have more staff attending to us. We dined in the traditional late seating which is not very full as most people are choosing either early of Anytime dining. Two of the three dining rooms are dedicated to anytime dining.
Embarkation in Rome was a snap and leaving the ship was a smooth operation as well.
Overall I rate this cruise very high. I would do it again any time!

We are cruising the Mediterranean
on the Crown Princess June 5, 2012
This was a last minute decision thanks to Princess sending us a last minute great offer. It was too good to turn down.
We will start the cruise from Rome ( Civitevecchia) after spending one night in Rome seeing a few things we enjoyed last time there. Among those are the Trevi Fountain.... Spanish Steps & Piazza Navona.
This cruise also visits...
Livorno / Florence
Naples
at Sea
Santorini ( Greek Isle)
Athens
Mykonos ( Greek Isle)
Katakolon
Corfu ( Greek Isle )
Split, Croatia
Venice ( overnight)
The cruise is a twelve night cruise. The Greek Isles are a bucket list item so we'll be able to cross that off.
Research says this is a dry season and the temperatures will be hovering around 80 in most locations. The Crown Princess is a sister ship to Caribbean Princess that we were on last year so we should know our way around.
